Title: Agilent E4421B RF Signal Generator

Agilent E4421B RF Signal Generator
Quick Reference Guide
Main Controls
The first three buttons listed below are the most
often used. Many buttons bring up a softkey
menu to the right of the screen. Numeric values
are entered using the keypad followed by pressing
a units selection on the softkey menu to the
right of the display.
  • PRESET This key restores the generator to a
    known state. This is a good place to start.
  • Frequency Hit this key, followed by entering a
    frequency value on the keypad and units (e.g.
    MHz) on the softkeys to the right of the display.
  • Amplitude Allows entry of an amplitude level.
  • RF On/Off Turns the output signal on and off.
    Current state is shown in the display below the
    amplitude box.
  • Mod On/Off Turns the modulation on and off.
  • AM/FM/PM These buttons bring up softkey menus to
    configure the modulation frequencies/etc (for
    internal generator use), and modulation
    sensitivities (e.g. kHz/V) for external
    modulation.
  • EXT1/EXT2 Input connectors for externally
    applied modulating waveforms. Apply 1V peak
    signals to achieve modulation deviations
    programmed using AM/FM/PM menus.

Overview
  • The E4421B is an RF signal generator covering 250
    kHz through 3 GHz. (usable down to 100 kHz)
  • It has synthesized tuning allowing frequency
    resolution to 0.01 Hz.
  • The RF output level can be set from -136 dBm to gt
    10 dBm with a resolution of 0.02 dB.
  • Basic AM, FM, and PM modulation is provided,
    including a built-in modulation source producing
    sinewaves from 0.1 Hz to 50 kHz and squarewaves,
    pulses, and noise modulation from 0.1 Hz to 10
    kHz.
  • Alternatively, modulating waveforms can be input
    externally. FM input response is from DC to 10
    MHz, PM is DC to 1 MHz, and AM is DC to 10 kHz.
